We're looking for a minimum five sentence paragraph, creatively explaining why your one chosen Autobot should be bestowed the rank of Prime. Simply post your paragraph in this thread, and you'll be entered into the contest. We'll be picking the best five responses! The characters eligible in this contest are Autobots that are playable in the game (PS3 version). They are listed below for your own convenience.
